Chapter Twenty-Eight: Windfall
The people next to him are now doing things a little bit like Feng Dalang, I saw him holding a dustpan full of white-flour steamed buns and smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and Feng Erlang and Feng Sanlang also worked together to hold a large clay pot with gruel. A penny for a steamed bun, you don't have to buy it with money, and you also give gruel, there is such a good thing, and the coolie brigade is as excited as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.
The Feng brothers are by no means traitors, but they have their own little cleverness, Feng Dalang and Feng Erlang took steamed buns and porridge to find their wives and children, Feng Sanlang did not go together, he held a steamed bun in his mouth, silently returned to the forest, and when Yu Dana's team was nearing the end, he dragged out a tree and walked to Yu Dana and said, "Not enough points!"
Yu Dana's cheek couldn't help but twitch, thirty steamed buns and a big pot of porridge, seven adults and seven children eat, what you said is not enough to even forget the people who didn't come to the house!
Yu Dana did not change it for him immediately, but asked him to wait, and if there was any leftover, he would change it. Although Feng Sanlang looks rough, he is not an unreasonable person, and he obediently waited on the side, but later watched the last basket of buns slowly decrease, he secretly became anxious, the father, the mother, and the fourth have not tasted this fine food, and they don't know if there is anything left over from the eldest brother.
"Ten !!" A weak voice sounded, he was really at the back of the line, he was already hungry, and he had to watch other people walk past him with steamed buns, the sweet fragrance wafted all over the West Bank, he really couldn't stand it.
"Huh?!" Feng Saburo's eyes widened, and the two dark and thick eyebrows didn't stand up, "You're such a small person, where did you eat so much, just change two." ”
"I ...... I...... My lady...... Still...... There are also children......" The man was so glared at him that the three souls were scared, "Big ...... Big Brother ...... Change...... Seven ......"
"Hmm!" Feng Sanlang nodded reluctantly in agreement, and Yu Dana, who had been overstepped by others, had black lines on his face behind him.
Soon, the end of the food queue was over, and with Feng Sanlang's efforts, there were dozens left in the end, and Yu Dana exchanged twenty buns for Feng Sanlang, but the porridge was gone. Feng Sanlang just pestle on the side, it was like a bright golden signboard telling those who were reminiscing about the white flour steamed buns and vegetable buns to hurry up and cut down the trees to change them, first come, first served, and if it was late, it would be gone.
What is the Qiao family doing at this time, she gave herself a holiday today, she slept lazily in the morning, and went out for a stroll after lunch. It was also because every time she entered the space, she was blinded by the sparkling Baoshan who was piled aside at random, seeing that it had been the ninth day since she ordered the jewelry box at Carpenter Li, and there was still one day left before the agreed day to pick up the goods, she couldn't sit still, so she simply cleaned up and went out. Zhang Niangzi looked at the master and went away alone, she felt that the master should not go out alone, but she knew that the master liked to be alone, and she could not let her intervene in the master's affairs.
Qiao Lan walked to the street where Carpenter Li's house was located, and saw from a distance that the small shop of Carpenter Li's house had not even confiscated the door panel and covered it tightly, and she couldn't help muttering: It won't be running away with my silver.
Qiao Lan stepped forward and knocked on the door panel, which was reasonable, unexpectedly, there were still people inside who answered the door, the small window on the door panel was opened, and Carpenter Li's wife looked out of it, Qiao Lan only felt that the moment she saw herself, the wrinkles on her face were instantly stretched, and there was a little more color invisibly.
Carpenter Li's wife warmly welcomed Qiao Lan in while tearing down the door panel. Carpenter Li also came out of the room, and his face was also full of smiles, quite meaningful.
Qiao Lan was invited to the inner room, accompanied by Carpenter Li's mother-in-law, Carpenter Li did not immediately show Qiao Lan his proud work, but after some politeness, he carefully discussed another matter with Qiao Lan, but said that he had been an apprentice under a very famous carpenter in Lishan County for half a year, although he had not seriously worshipped the master, but Carpenter Li had always respected the carpenter as a master. Not long ago, Master passed through Wuli Town, sat here for a while, and accidentally saw the jewelry box he made according to Qiao Lan's design, and immediately amazed, and said that Carpenter Li was better than blue, and made it clear that he wanted to cooperate with him. Carpenter Li was very moved, but he also knew that the stakes were very high, at least he had to ask Qiao Lan and get her approval.
Qiao Lan was stunned, this is another expert who has taken a fancy to the design. Carpenter Li was afraid that Qiao Lan would not agree, so he said the two parts of red that his master said to her, and the rest, his master accounted for thirty percent, he had two layers, and thirty percent was used to walk.
When Qiao Lan heard this, she thought in her heart that it was not just a jewelry box, why did she do it so solemnly, although she thought so in her heart, she still maintained a proper smile on her face, "Since I said that this drawing can be used by you, it will not go back on its word, and I don't have any opinion on you cooperating with others or buying the drawings with others." Qiao Lan thought for a moment and shook another shot, "But the premise is that the four jewelry boxes you made for me can satisfy me." ”
"Hehe! I dare to pack the ticket, Miss Chen will definitely not be disappointed. ”
"You are so confident, you seem to be very satisfied with your work. ”
"Oh! Even my master was full of praise. Carpenter Li smirked twice.
"Oh, then show me what a masterpiece it is. Qiao Lan was also aroused, and looked forward to it inexplicably, originally she just wanted a few boxes with valuables, if she could go further, it would be excellent.
Carpenter Li left, and after a while, he came over with a piece of stuff, Qiao Lan knew that it was her jewelry box, but it was still wrapped in muslin, was it too much...... It's just a box...... The muslin cloth was lifted, and the true face of Rushan, who had packed the box, was revealed, and Qiao Lan was stunned...... It's really too much, it's just a box that is so beautiful......
The whole body of the box is purple red, and the moonlight map of the lotus pond on the front and side is actually a relief with a stronger sense of three-dimensionality, which makes the whole box appear gorgeous and dignified, but also because of the elegance of the lotus, plus the moonlight, it does not make the box too thick and unable to suppress this beauty.
Qiao Lan was so happy that she didn't know what to say, this box gave her a big surprise in terms of workmanship and materials, comparing the jewelry box she used to have to be scum, she didn't feel that Carpenter Li wrapped the box in muslin cloth was too pretentious: this product is so beautiful, where is the box, it is clearly a work of art. It has always been said that people who buy and return pearls are stupid, they sacrifice their roots and seek the end, and they don't know how to choose, I don't think so, but when I see this box, I want to be stupid. It is no wonder that Carpenter Li and his apprentices want to do this business, and they are very discerning, so it is not impossible to make a profit.
Carpenter Li stood a few steps away, looking at Qiao Lan with joy, to say that he is a big man, and his mother-in-law is still around, he looks at a little girl, how inappropriate it is, but he is too proud of his masterpiece, and at the moment he is like a father waiting for others to praise his son. Qiao Lan did not disappoint him, and said the words "buy and return the pearls" with joy, Carpenter Li was stunned, and he didn't know why, so he hurriedly asked, and Qiao Lan briefly said the allusion of buying and returning the pearls.
"Okay!! Carpenter Li unconsciously shouted, "Miss Chen, this box will be called the Returning Bead Box in the future, okay?"
...... "I'm still Spider-Man!! I'm still beady!!
It is estimated that only she is tired of the name "Returning the Pearl Box", so Qiao Lan did not raise any objections, but, a month later, the Returning Bead Box was brought to the capital, and it soon became popular in the circle of noble ladies and nobles, the first wave of those who had the Returning Bead Box was really out of the limelight, and the news came back to Qiao Lan's ears, and she was very annoyed that she did not stop Carpenter Li from using the name "Return the Bead Box", which made her goosebumps, of course, this is a later story, and now Qiao Lan is still immersed in the joy of getting the baby.
Carpenter Li went to bring another small box over, and the two boxes were placed together, and they looked exactly the same in the blink of an eye, but if you look closely, you will find that the moonlight map of the lotus pond carved on the outside of the two boxes is not the same. The big box couldn't be moved, Qiao Lan followed Carpenter Li and his wife out of the inner room, and entered a slightly messy room, Li Dazheng was sitting upright in front of a large box that was one meter high and could be called a cabinet, and the carving knife in his hand was dexterously walking on the side of the box.
Qiao Lan didn't look at the big box that had been completed, but walked next to Li Da and looked at his knife work like a ghostly axe. There are no drawings, no traces, and it is completely free to play, but Li Da has made every knife just right, and under the carving knife, a blooming lotus flower has begun to take shape. Qiao Lan felt that he was completely worthy of being called a madman.
Carpenter Li's mother-in-law looked at the figure of her son and Qiao Lan together, how to see how they matched, her heart couldn't help but flash...... That day, she just said this to Xiang Gong, but Xiang Gong scolded her, Miss Chen does not seem to be an ordinary child, not to mention her own son is like this, she had to dispel that unrealistic idea, but a few days ago, her son went to the lotus pond to see the lotus flowers in order to carve the pattern...... This makes her a good mother, in her life, except for her son's happiness, she has nothing else to think about.
Qiao Lan suddenly felt that Carpenter Li's eyes were shining with a terrifying light when she looked at her, and she was too enthusiastic, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Carpenter Li brought the deed he had prepared, Qiao Lan did not sign it, the name Chen Yuehe was no longer effective, and she didn't want too many people to know "Qiao Lan" now, so she pressed her fingerprint. agreed to come over tomorrow to pick up the last box, and Qiao Lan hired a car to bring the three boxes home.
In the carriage, Qiao Lan put the two small boxes into the space, leaving the largest one, in fact, she wanted to put them in together, but the experienced coachman is bound to be very sensitive to the weight of the car, she didn't dare to take risks, and when it came to the ground, the small object also said that such a big object disappeared out of thin air, and she couldn't come back no matter how many mouths she grew.
The carriage ran smoothly, and when it finally stopped, Qiao Lan lifted the curtain and saw Zhang Niangzi walking quickly. She found that Zhang Niangzi was really a hard worker, and she changed her ways to find something to do for herself, no, every time she went out, she spontaneously and consciously acted as a porter. Zhang Niangzi has a lot of strength, she worked with the coachman, and finally sent the big box safely into the west compartment of the outer courtyard and put it away
